Which is the best Vietnam war movie? (IGNORE THE OTHER ONE!)

The Platoon option did not make it in the first poll, so poll again here!

I'm not sure but I'll vote for Full Metal Jacket cause Ill always liked that one. Eeyyy!! Vooooooolleeeeeey Booolleeeeeeeeeeey!! Hilerious!
These 3 is all I can come up with for now, please give suggestions.

off topic, but you can just delete the other one instead of making another one

Full Metal Jacket... definately

off topic, but you can just delete the other one instead of making another one

How do I delete the wrong one?

I don't think you can delete a topic. But you could've edited you post of the first one and added platoon to the poll.

I just asked Andrew to delete, which he did, so no problem anymore.

ohoh Apocalypse Now (Redux !), defenetly
such a sweet movie. (remmber it was made -79)

an suggestion: Catch-22, a pretty sweet movie. not that great as AN though...

apocalypse now... best... movie... ever...

also, other notable mentions...
forest gump
thin red line
we were soldiers

"soldier"

I like Apocalypse now too (have the redux version on DVD) though some scene is kind of weird, the playboy scene where Lance and and Chef talks with the bunnies. Didn't like that scene, and I think the end could have been more dramatic, great film still!

The main subject in Forest Gump is not the Vietnam War, so it doesen't count.

Thin red line sucks in my opionen, nothing happends !

Haven't seen "We Were soldiers" I think its the one with Mel Gibson, is it?

yup, i saw like a third of it then i got bored

Ok. So it good it not hit the list then.

Off the topic a bit but: Today I bought Panic room 4 about 18$ or something. But I was quite dissapointed, I mean it was fincher one of my favorite directors that had made it so I thought it would be really good, but it was a bit under averge. So now I'm thinkig of to trade in the store with the movie "Men of honor" instead. Does Anyone seen that one, cause I don't want to buy a crappy movie twice

Panic room isn't that bad... not that good ether for that's sake...
and yes, Men of honor is a pretty good movie, a little to sentimental though, but still worth a look..

That is what I'm afraid of in that movie, that it's to sentimental hollywood shit.

[swedish] heh, glömde bort att du var från sverige...

näe, men den är inte jätte sentimental... men den är bra endå... [/swedish]

Vafan, jag trodde jag var den enda svensken här på forument, haha.
Borde ha lagt märke på ditt namn, sen står det ju också att du finns i Växjö.

Vet inte, kanske köper någon annan film, det fanns lite annat skit där också. Men grejen är att jag tänker säga att jag köpte fel, inte att jag tyckte filmen var dålig och vill byta den därför. Så jag måste bestämma en film innan jag går ditt typ.

ok, om du vill se en bra film; Battle Royale... Donnie Darko är fakrist bra också...

Jo, Donnie Darko är det andra ggn jag blir rekommenderad ikväll. Ska kanske köpa den. Vad fan handlar den om egentligen? En stor elak kanin

ehm, ja. på sett och vis...
en kille som går i sömnen på något sett och träffar en kille i kanin dräckt som kommer från framtiden och som säger när jordens undergång ska komma... och så fortsätter det runt kaninen och om hur donnie sakta blir galen (eller gjör han )

Låter intressant, är den creppy, för isåfall är det ännu intressantere. En stor läskig kanin, wow.

hehe, ja faktist. den är lite så halv-konstig. sån som man ska se flera gånger så fattar man fler och fler saker...

The main subject in Forest Gump is not the Vietnam War, so it doesen't count.

a major part of the movie is linked to vietnam, so it makes it a vietnam movie, somewhat. don't tell me that apocalypse now's main subject is the vietnam war...

Thin red line sucks in my opionen, nothing happends !

nothing? its more of a drama, not action, a character movie... and something does happen... woody harrelson gets his ass blown up...

Haven't seen "We Were soldiers" I think its the one with Mel Gibson, is it?

yeah, it is, it sucks too... i only mentioned it, since it should've been in the poll...

and something does happen... woody harrelson gets his ass blown up...

Nah, I don't agree. Forest Gump is about a strange low IQ man, not about the vietnam war, it's just a little part of the story. Forest Gump is a drama movie.

nothing? its more of a drama, not action, a character movie... and something does happen... woody harrelson gets his ass blown up...

It's so fuckin slow, in like 3h you hear that slow uninteresting almost druged voice. And Woody's ass blowned up does not save it.

yeah, it is, it sucks too... i only mentioned it, since it should've been in the poll...

Well, the poll was "Which is the best Vietnam War movie" and since We were soldiers evidently sucks, it should not be there.

Ah, jag vågade inte på mig "Men of Honor" utan köpte ett säkert kort istället: Beverly hills Cop (snuten I hollywood).

Men jag ska kanske köpa Donnie Darko nångång i framtiden.
